Lift Inspections
Annual lift inspection is crucial for preventive maintenance and safety.
Lift inspections can show potential problems while they are easily fixable, prevent equipment breakdowns and injury, and keep your shop up and running. If it’s been more than a year since your automotive lifts were inspected, then it’s time to schedule an appointment to have it done. We will ensure your lifts are properly inspected.
Our inspection of your lift includes a multipoint safety check, pressure tests, inspection of lift controls and operation. These are just a few of the services included during lift inspections:
- Check for safety hazards that could impact your employees.
- Identify problems that affect efficiency and productivity.
- Check to ensure the base and columns are properly shimmed and stable.
- Tighten anchor bolts, and make sure cables and chains are adjusted.
- Ensure safety locks are functioning properly.
- Check for hydraulic leaks and check oil level.
- Identify what critical components need lubrication.
- Ensure all screws, bolts and pins are secure.
- List all repairs that are needed for safe operation of the lift.
- Provide written records of inspections for your files for each vehicle lift at your facility.
- We provide consulting and recommendations for service or adjustments to correct problems, improve safety, and extend the life of your car lift.
- We will provide automatic inspection scheduling reminders before your inspections are due.
Maintaining the safety and security of your vehicle lift operation will give you peace of mind.
Emergency service is expensive. In addition to the costs of a diagnosis, parts, and repair, having a non-operational bay could cost your facility thousands per day in lost profits from service.
Smoothly working equipment saves time. Every minor issue requires time to work around. Across every bay in your facility, across every lift, every day, wasted time adds up and costs your shop money.
We have highly trained and experienced technicians that provide detailed inspections and help you maintain your equipment to OSHA and ANSI standards.
Experience matters when it comes to inspecting garage equipment that is pushed to the limits daily. You should always verify that your inspectors have the training and experience needed to protect your business’s operations, employees, and profitability.
Annual automotive lift inspections by a qualified inspector are required by OSHA. Neglecting your inspections can result in significant fines for non-compliance. In worst-case scenarios, not inspecting your lifts annually can lead to unexpected malfunctions and potential operator injuries. Keep your employees safe and your shop running smoothly with a firm commitment to this annual task.
Annual vehicle lift inspections conducted by a “qualified automotive lift inspector” are required by the ANSI National Standard covering vehicle lift operation, inspection and maintenance (ANSI/ALI ALOIM: 2008). Inspections are also included by reference in regulations in the United States and Canada.
A shop’s efficiency depends on the proper function of all its equipment.
Large shops with several technicians need reliable lifts for most jobs. Downtime can be extremely costly and result in losses in daily revenue. Inspections help reveal potential problems and identify potential equipment failures or excessively worn parts that need lubrication, adjustments, or replacement. Getting your car lift inspections completed by ALI certified lift inspectors can help you identify potential problems early and encourage preventative maintenance. Addressing issues before equipment breaks down saves time and money.
As an employer, you want to give your employees the safest and healthiest workplace environment possible. It’s not only your duty as a business owner, it may be prescribed by your regional building and safety offices or workplace safety agencies. Non-compliant businesses are easy targets for negligence-based tort suits. If you don’t keep up with recommended routine maintenance schedules, annual inspections and proper repair/service documentation, you can be shown to be liable in court.
